And baby makes four! Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard - seen here on April 5 - have confirmed that they are expecting a second child, with their reps confirming that the pair are 'beyond excited' to be expecting a 'sibling for daughter Lincoln'

The announcement comes just three days after the bubbly blonde actress hit the red carpet in New York looking slim in black skinny jeans and - perhaps tellingly in hindsight - a loose-fitting pale pink layered top.

After six years together, the pair exchanged vows at the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office in a very un-celebrity, low-key fashion, having been engaged since January 2010.

Having made the decision not to wed until same-sex marriage was legalised, the Parenthood actor, 39, proposed again to his long-time love via Twitter on June 26 last year.

The 33-year-old Veronica Mars star has previously gushed to Us Weekly that she loves motherhood, calling her baby girl 'absolutely intoxicating'.

She's got that glow! While the 33-year-old wasn't showing a hint of a blossoming baby belly as she attended an event in New York City on June 20 - just three days before announcing the great news - she certainly looked happy and healthy, glowing from the inside out

While the actress is busy juggling the
demands of an infant with her in-demand career, with a starring role in
Showtime's House Of Lies, the star admits it can be hard finding the
right balance.

'I want to be very hands on. I want to cook for my family and feel present for them,' she told the publication in April. 'I'm always missing her when I'm not there.

And she isn't the only one who has fallen head over heels for the gorgeous bub, with Kristen telling host Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her talk show shortly after Lincoln's birth just how besotted her husband is.

'It's like he's just made a new best friend,' she joked. 'He just talks to her all the time and sings to her all day. It's wonderful.'

A match made in heaven: The couple, who have been together since 2007 - seen here in March - tied the knot at the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office in a very un-celebrity, low-key fashion on October 17, 2013, having been engaged since January 2010

Talking to People during
the American Express Epic EveryDay Getaway event at SoulCycle in New
York on Friday, the soon-to-be mother-of-two revealed her secret to
staying fit while not losing out on precious time with her family.

'My go-to workout is usually hiking,' she explained, adding that she will 'often strap the baby to my chest'.

'[Hiking] is easy because sometimes it doesn’t actually take me away from anything because my whole family's coming on the hike,' she continued.

She also got candid as she talked about her pride and joy, who she says is 'delicious'.

'It's such a fun age,' she said of the 15-month-old. 'I feel like having a toddler is exhausting and extremely rewarding - and far more rewarding than exhausting.'

Kristen previously revealed her desire to have more children.

'I would love to give [Lincoln] a sibling,' she shared. 'I had two older sisters and I think the relationship between siblings is so special. You're able to share that, "We're all in this together," feeling.

'Because growing up is, like, the worst,' she added. 'Your body hurts and you can't communicate with anyone, and you think you know stuff before you know it, and your parents are idiots, and they're embarrassing.'
